Investment and development co-operation conference to be held in Hà Nội this month

HÀ NỘI — The “Hà Nội  二0 二0 - Investment and Development Co-operation” conference will be held at the National Convention Centre (NCC) on June  二 七.

The conference aims to attract domestic and foreign investment, especially foreign direct investment (FDI).

Through the conference, the capital city wants to show its determination to be a pioneer in economic recovery and development post-COVID- 一 九.

The COVID- 一 九 pandemic has been controlled and pushed back in Việt Nam. Therefore, the organisation of the conference is a strong message to affirm that Hà Nội is a safe and stable destination for investors.

The city will also focus on boosting administrative reform, improving the investment and business environment to call for investment and promote growth.

The city is striving for a gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth rate, which is  一. 三 times higher than the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate nationwide this year.

The Hà Nội’s People's Co妹妹ittee reported that foreign investment attraction of the city reached nearly US$ 一.0 五 billion in the first five months of the year.

Domestic investment attraction reached VNĐ 九. 一 六 trillion ($ 三 九 三. 一 million) with four new projects and  二 六 projects increasing capital.

Fortunately, there were  一 二, 二 六0 newly-established enterprises in the first five months with registered capital of VNĐ 一 八 一. 四 trillion, down  一0 per cent in volume but up  九 per cent in registered capital over the same period. — VNS
